WHITE COUNTY, ARKANSAS - It all starts at the White County Sheriff’s Department when two deputies enter an on-line chat room.

The decoy profile is an eighth grader from Searcy, a regular teen who could be anybody’s child.One after another, men begin chatting with the officers posing as the young girl. Repeatedly detective Brandon Grimes tells the men the “girl” is only 14.

“We’ve had several that have offered to even drive from halfway across the state, so that really surprises me,” says Grimes.
